Nothing Ever Hurt Me (Half As Bad As Losing You)

(Bobby Braddock)
 Well, I've had a splittin' headache from my eyebrows to my backbone
 Arthritis appendicitis brights disease and gall stones
 Bleedin' ulcers ingrown toe nails swollen adenoids
 The Asian flu a time or two and inflamed vocal chords
 I've had a toothache so severe my jawbone split in two
 But nothing's ever hurt me half as bad as losing you.
 Well, I've had the lit end of a cigar pressed against my belly
 Whupped on with a crowbar till my eyeball turned to jelly
 Accident'ly nailed my index finger to the wall
 Cut off half my toes and soaked my foot in alcohol
 I've had my pelvis ruptued by an angry kangaroo
 But nothing's ever hurt me half as bad as losing you.
 Well, it's not because you measure fifty, twenty, forty-four
 It's surely not because you own a chain of liquor stores
 It's not because your daddy is the richest man in town
 It's just that I've grown used to you and having you around.
 I've had my parents tell me son we don't love you at all
 I've seen my sister's name written on a washroom wall
 My best friend set my barn on fire burned my horse to death
 I went out with a girl who told me that I had bad breath
 Last week I drew a crowd when I went to the city zoo
 But nothing's ever hurt me half as bad as losing you.
 Well, I've had a splittin' headache from my eyebrows to my backbone
 Arthritis appendicitis brights disease and gall stones
 Bleedin' ulcers ingrown toe nails swollen adenoids
 The Asian flu a time or two and inflamed vocal chords
 I've had a toothache so severe my jawbone split in two
 But nothing's ever hurt me half as bad as losing you...
